The General (1926) Original piano score by William P. Perry ( Blu Ray Quality, full movie)
A complete and remastered version of this movie was released on BluRay by Kino International in 2009. It featured scores by Carl Davis, Robert Israel and Lee Irwin. However, there exists a piano score composed by William P. Perry which was done over a different copy of the movie which seemingly was in worse conditions, with many lost frames and changes in the order of the scenes. There are certain scenes when Anabelle talks to the Northern Generals in the house which were lost. This version of the movie was released on DVD by various companies. I wanted to enjoy the BluRay remaster and Perry s score at the same time. Nevertheless, the differences between the two versions of the movie would make this impossible without a full adaptation of the high definition release. In order to do so, I had to make a framebyframe comparison of both sources to have them match in length. AviSynth helped me do this without having to shoot my head. It was a lot of work, though: I splitted manual
